From Farley's Trade Report,
The failure Of the extensive strikes
in New York City and vicinity and
the order given to the various unions
to return to work eliminates a troub-
lesome factor from the field OF gem
eral trade this week, and the stimulus
that must result to all the commercial
lines guarantees u speedy recovery
and rapid advance for the losses sus-
tanned. The tone is one OF confidence
in the future and brisk reviyalin the
affairs OF the present West ana
Northwest reports indicate an early
opening Of the season and Eastern
and Southern centres are already
struggling to meet the demands made
upon them. The volume OF business
for the week is more than fully up to
expectations, and labor troubles out OF
the way the outlook is one freighted
with unusual promise to manufactur-
ers and the commercial as we'll as the
industrial world.
The feature Of the pig-iron market
is the continued firmness that has
been its characteristic during the last
six weeks. Although business has
slackened up, prices are quite firm
Confidence in the future is strong fol
the very excellent reason that every
line of production is sold ahead anc
the entire output for months will no
admit of surplus. This means
bare iron and steel market for month";
to come. Selling prices on steel rail
are $50 and $40. Pig-iron isnow turn
ed out at the rate of $4,000 tons pc
week. This will be great year 10
railroad building.
There is a fair movement in DIR
goods, and that is to be expected wit
an opening season. The reports
trade from the West and South sho
that business is not only being stead
ly maintained, but is increasing.
From some cause the wool mark
is very dull, in spite Of the fact TIN
there was good movement only
week ago. The wool goods market
not such as to encourage manufactu
ers to buy wool beyond immedia
needs. Prices of wool are really fri
er.
The cotton goods market is fri
and there is very good lobbil
trade. In nearly all the best know
makes of plain brown and bleach
cottons, the mills are well sold up.
The flour market still continu
very quiet with no changes OF note
prices. The trade does not appear
be surprised at dull movement
-four in February and wants are W
supplied for some weeks to come
The money market is easy and g.
eral collections for the country goo
Eastern capitalists are directing tn
sttention to investment in the Sou
and we have statement from II
nessee that during the past we

were issued. The movement in sp
ulation appears to be gaining grou

After the race our legs are short and
